Yan Buren then proceeded to CHOMS-EXAMINE THE WITNESS, who, inanawer to querios, stated that the vote of the Virst Precinct of the Twentieth Ward ap- peared by the general abstract of the returna of election te be, Le Moyne, 251; Farwell, 422; he ascertained these uumbere by taking the figures of the abstract of tho ro- turns made by the judges of elections; the ab- atract was mado up by a clork of witness’ named Hitchcock. The judges of election of the First Precinct of the Twontieth Ward wore W. Chap- lin, W. F. O'Brien, aud G. Blakely; the clerks wera E, Jameson, and Honry Raski. ‘Tho wit- ness appointed W. Chaplin, and did not know by whom the othera were appointed, but supposed it was by the County Commissioners. Ue did not know to what political party the judges and clorks or a majority of them belonged, or to what political party a majority of the County Com- missioners bolonged when they appointed tho Judgoa of this election. Witness waa not cor- tain whethor be waa or waa not still Clerk of tho Bosrd of Coanty Commiselonory, but by law he appeared to ba ox-oflicio such Clerk. ‘Witnesa might have been at dinner at the time the ballots and affdavity and poll-books were olivered to him. Tboy wero dolivered at disfer- ens bours two or throe days after tho eloction ; some of witness’ deputies recoived them—not himself personally ; overy evening during the two or three days the election returna camo io, ‘Witness cxamined the packages, and found all of thom sealod with wax or mucilago, and bad them carefully alowed away in tho vault. They were in witneew’ ofice when he first saw thom, Max Schuller received and had cbargo of soma of thom ; neither Max Schuller nor any other ex- cept witness had oxclusive charge of them; the vault iu which thoy were placed was in wituess’ ofiico; st was opened in the morning and gloved at night by either Chicf-Doputy ‘Drury, Deputy Corniente, or Honry Motz, tho clerk in charge of the booka and papers,—tho ealy ones who had the combination of the vault; the vault waa ususily opened at about 8a. m., and closed about 5p. m., except when there was night work, and tho books were left out, dio bad nine deputiva and clerks, socording to cireuinstances, sometimes seventy, appointed by witness; afl tho deputies and Max Schuller, Heury Metz, and Adam Kempling, clurks, had access to tho vault. Witneus’ politics wero ac- cording to circumstances ; ho was eloctod by & party called at tho time by some people the “Sour Mash" party, by others the Peoplo's paity. Ile worked to socuro the success of the rogular ticket, on which tho contcutant was placed. Ho nevor blew his own horn, but loft bis poltical frionds to determine the value of hia exertions. He refused to auswer whethor be had or had not ® pecuniary boterost in the election of John VY. Le Moyno; it waa uobody's bueincss whether be bad any bets on Le Moyne’s election. He refused to an- ewer the question whother he liad 0 bot or not; the reasons for his rofusal to answer the ques- tion wero hidden within his breast. He could wot state the exact number of dopu- ties he appointed to attend the polls. Thera must have been about 10) or 120; they belonged to the People’s party, and wero appointed in tho intercet of votora who wera pot registered or whose votes were challenged; thoy were rovom- mended to witness by the — differant ward committees of tha Pooplo's party. Ile did not consider “ bimsclf more capable of couvting the yotou than the judges of election, and did not consider bimeelf & judge of the validity of the voles. Ile did not read off the ballots whilo the Notaries put the aumbors down; could not swear that the Notaries put tho figures down correctly. At an cloction it was tha duty of the jucyes of cloction to write the figures on the back of the ballots, Thore were threa jndges of clection at each recinct. At the Jirst Procinot of tho Twontieth Ward W. Chaplin received tho ballot-box, blank poll-books, tally-sheets, and return from wit- uess, and they were roturued to witness by the same wan aftor the olection. Chaplin took his cath of aftice in witness’ office, ‘Iho paper packages er envelopes in which the lot sand = afiidavits were placed wero inted by Cameron, Amberg & Oo, Witness’ Chiof Deputy bad them printed; do hot know who filled up the blaukeon the back or face of the envelopes; thoy were filled up aftor thay left witness’ ofiice. " Witnoss consid- arod himsalf aa familiar with the art of writing the English Inuguage, and reading writing and figures iu that languago, as he wae with his omn; did not consider himuolf au oxpert in that re- spect. ‘Tho numbers on the bscka of the bal- lote wero written in pencil aud in different band- Writings, but, with few exceotions, it was uot dificult to decipher and ascertain what tho num- berg were really intonded to be. Witnese here produced tho aftitavits and bal- lots of the Firat Precinct of tho ‘Iwenticth Ward, but the Court adjourned bofore any quostions wore asked concerning them. — AFTERNOON SESSION. THR CROBS-REAMINATION CONTINUED, ‘The Court reavsembled at 2 p.m., when Mr. ‘Van Buren selected the sovonteen afiidavite which wore thrown out ag quostionable on wit- ness’ firatoxaminatios. Le called attention to No. 529, auking if there was vot » writton cross botween the lotter "J" and “O'Noill"* in the afidavit of John O’Najil, snd if it did not ap- poar to be anbsvribed aad sworn ro before Jacob Grows, Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook Coun- ty. To both quostions witnous answered in tho afiroative, ‘The signature to the jurat of the aflidavit was that of Jrcob Gross, with tho of- ficial aftix, “Clerk of tha Circuit Court of Cook County.” Witness did not know the Joha Craw- ford who elgued aa bis witness, nor way ho ao quaiuted with hiv elgnature. Witness also Bu~ awored questions regarding the juratw of afl. c\ ) davits Nox, 673, 94, 425, 485, 82, 443, 571, 280, 56%, 410, 603, 461, 277, 656, 357, and 164. Witness testified that the uumber of envelopes ho obtained from Cameron, Amberg & Co, sras an follows : 120 envelopes for city ballots, 0 envolopon for county ballots, 120 envelopes for city poll-hooka and tally-liate, 20 envelopes for county poll-booka and tally-lista, 120 envelopes for city aflldavite, and 69 for county allidavits, punluelng tho stub of the order-book on the rm. Mr, Vat Buren introduced the affidavita in evidence, and insidted that they should be aie tached to, and accompany, the doposilion of Gen. Liob in the caso. THE WITNESS ODIECTED to their parsing ont of bia bands, offering, how- ever, to provide official cupics, fn answer to a question, witness tated that he refaged to por- mit the affidavits about which ho had juss terti- fied to be attached to or accompany bin tertinie- ny ns oxbibits of the ame wntil requerted to do 80 by proper authority. Wituess convidered that Persons, authorities, or parties whose premines it was to judge of the law in much caso. wore the only anthority to grant bim the permission. Ho did not consider the Notaries before whom the textimony wad taken an auch authority, Mr. Van Buren wixhed to have it noted that he had introduced thexe seventeen affidayita in evi- denco, that thoy were on the table before the Notaries, and that if the witness took poasersion of them or took them away—— Witness—Ho docs not take them away. They are still in my possossion. Mr. Yan Luren (continuing)—Ifo doen it apainat the objection and protest of the con- texte. + Witness—I tell you if any one cleo oxcept the Proper authoritien puts the afidavite in bis pocket he will have to deal with THE NOTARIES TURNID PALE at this expression of determination on the part of the County Clerk, and sheved the aftidayits to the end of the table farthest from them. Br. Van Buren—DoI understand that if the Notaries attempt to take posacesion of thers idavite for the purposes heretofore mentioned, you mil resist such attempt by force ? Witnews—Of courge, I will; and furthermore, if] am stroug enongh, I will uot them out of this houxe. I know I could Joit, because 1 have one of the Notatics on my aide. After somo good-humored railfery the taking of evidence proceeded. Tho witness deecrined THE POLL-nOOKS acnt out to the Judyou of the different precincta. Ne said there were forty precincts in this coun- ty in the Third Cougressions! Joistrict, and that twa blank pojl-bouks and anvelopes and two tally-sheota wero furvished each procinrt. ‘Throe of the onvelopes—ono onch for ballota, tally- checks, and poll-booka—wore produced by wit- ness, and fntroduced tn evidence by Sir, Van Buren, Witness said thora wero 673 votes polled in the Firet Precinct of the I'wentiesh Ward, ae shown by the poll-book. Witness was then examined as to hia opinion with rogard to those doubtfal ballots Nus, 144, 247, 201 in this precinct.
